What We Do

We are passionate about building opportunities for MTR residents to leverage their housing stability to make significant changes in their education, health and community. 

Our initiatives address the real-life challenges MTR residents have told us they face every day: how to feed their families, educate their children, improve their physical and mental health and connect meaningfully with their community. 

 

Increasing access to education  

We run a robust scholarship program for young people and grant programs that train adults looking to acquire new skills to create a future of their choosing.  

 

Improving food security  

It’s hard to learn, grow or contribute to your community well when you’re hungry. Our community food programs and pantries ensure that quality food is close-at-hand for our residents — filling tummies and fueling possibility.  

 

Championing people’s mental and physical health  

Just because you’re housed, doesn’t mean you’re healthy. With a host of health care professionals at their side, MTR residents have the support they need to address a wide range of personal health challenges ranging from addiction and trauma and age-in-place care. 

 

Investing in community-wide wellness  

People thrive in community — but community doesn’t just happen. Investments in block parties, book clubs, BBQs, access to chaplaincy and more help combat isolation, encourage collaboration, and open more opportunities for people to journey meaningfully together through life.  

 

Raising capital to build a more hope-filled future 

More Than a Roof Housing Society has spent 40 years as a sought-after partner for governments, health authorities, and municipalities to address the housing supply crisis in British Columbia. We propel their work by raising the capital needed to purchase property and develop safe, affordable homes.
